That was for my buddy down the road at his property building the bank back up. But up the hollow a bit where the last few videos were filmed that hole has been dipped in a few times. Ziggy was up there with me pulling the first few out and I've been moving up creek on the bedrock pulling out the big ones. And moving a heck of a lot of rock in general between nick and myself we created a swimming hole already. I ended up somewhat knowing the people that were up there and they were gone when I got back up there after lunch. Then the next morning showed up and we dug around but I was back in my hole lol
@@michaelburbank2276 all types of bedrock to work I'm heading back Saturday with the correct tools. I found 2 one plus gram nuggets up about 50 feet of here before the flood and there's 75% more exposed after the hurricane came through.
Removing stream structure is not a good thing, don’t know what type of fish live there but they’ll have to relocate to un disturbed area Also depending on the time of the year you could affect spawning I know I’m an asshole but this isn’t acceptable in a year round flowing stream Most states DNR/ DWR would probably not be happy
Well..... technically anything done in the river would effect spawning would it not? Taking a pan full of dirt could ? How about fishing 🎣 ? How about the machines in the creek locally taking boulders out building the banks up? All those and others happen every single day , And I will also add it's private property and not being done for mining purposes but to build back embankment which is supporting crucial important items for the local residents.
Thank you for your information reminder I haven't forgotten though... I'm all over the country so you chiming in not knowing where I am or the rules or literally anything besides what I told you really is beating around the bush. And I mite look stupid but 😅 I'm surely not the type to out myself I mean I've been uploading videos for some years now.
Altering or changing creeks and river beds etc.. can get you a hefty fine if not careful or know better. Even in many states if its a federal waterway or in protected land and city, county, or state parks. Gold panning is regulated in many places now to where and how you can pan and extract, know the law, or you could lose your findings and get fined to boot.
@@ericswain4177 not 1 state you are getting in trouble for moving rocks. Altering waterways is ( diverting / or damming ) that does not include moving rocks......TOO THE ROADSIDE BANK!!!! IN FACT THATS EXACTLY WHAT EVERY TOWN / CITY does in almost every state. Thank you for your concern but I am not concerned especially when excavators are literally In this exact creek every fall & spring removing gravel from the stream and bordering the edge with boulders. FYI I'd be In more "trouble" if I had taken a load of rocks and dumped them over the edge of the bank. That is considered altering banks not pulling materials already in said water to the edge
@@GramCanyonSam Most of this is rarely enforced or in areas where park rangers etc... are nearby or patrol due to too many instances occurring. But ha You take your chances.
@@ericswain4177 if you were stopping by my comments to point out things possibly "not to code or law " you have hundreds of videos to go through 🎉 but I hate to burst your bubble this is not illegal not for nothing it couldn't have been done more out in the open I saw the sheriff & water board drive by twice & on top of that there's plenty of (out of state landowners) that do not like mining that take any chance they can get to call the law . They sometimes come by ..... never have I or anyone else had to pack up and leave or stop what we are doing. In fact the local community has always supported and will continue to. None of our crew does anything to harm the area and do our part to protect and maintain land allowed to us. If we gold miners were an issue I highly doubt private land owners would grant access to work said lands. 😉
@@briankenison7995 we are moving dump trucks by shovel every season lol imagine if you , Nick and myself got shovels moving 😄 there would be very little left. We are digging up the narrow section now if us 3 line up we could clear the whole stretch. Bedrock is exposed it's easy working once the boulders are out.
